 title: 7. Evaluating Job Performance
+date: 2021-05-01

-Middlebury College requires annual written performance evaluations for all staff employees. Mid-year performance evaluations are conducted at six month intervals between the annual written performance evaluations. These meetings allow employees and supervisors to establish performance expectations and goals for the future and to review previously communicated performance expectations and development plans. The process also establishes the link between performance and suggested merit increases.
+Middlebury is committed to a model that centers holistic and honest feedback up, down and across our teams and prioritizes personal and professional growth on an ongoing basis. Supervisors and staff are encouraged to have early and frequent feedback conversations. The goal of the conversations should be to reflect on successes, challenges, and opportunities moving forward.
 
-The College encourages supervisors to provide opportunities throughout the year for less formal verbal performance feedback to employees.
+Supervisors and employees should have frequent conversations throughout the year and are expected to meet in alignment with our current tools and practices.
